New device can measure PET radiotracer concentration
Static PET images enable a qualitative assessment of the distribution of a radiotracer, but to improve disease prediction, a more quantitative approach is required. A retired radiation oncologist and an electrical engineer have joined forces to develop a clinically useful device.

MRI quantifies magnetic targeting of tumors
To avoid the adverse impact of chemotherapy on healthy tissue, a useful targeting mechanism is to magnetically guide nanocarriers of toxic drugs to tumors using an applied magnetic field. The method is cheap and easy, but it lacks a quantifiable way of evaluating targeting efficiency.

Early FAPI-PET scans match 60-minute scans for lung cancer staging
By Will Morton
By convention, most molecular imaging tracers such as F-18 FDG are injected one hour prior to PET scans to allow time for uptake of the tracer by tumors.

AI may provide early breast cancer alerts from mammograms
By Amerigo Allegretto
Commercial AI systems could provide early alerts for breast cancer by picking out early signs of the disease on mammograms.
June 9, 2026
Screening mammograms and AI score changes are depicted over time in two individuals with screen-detected cancer. Full-field digital mammograms show craniocaudal (top) and mediolateral (bottom) views of the left and right breast. The description below each mammogram indicates whether AI scores from three AI-based computer-aided detection systems (AI-1, AI-2, and AI-3) were above or below the 90th percentile. (A) Mammograms from three screening time points (in 2009, 2011, and 2014) in an individual who was diagnosed in February 2014 (at age 73 years) with a left-sided 25-mm grade 2 invasive breast carcinoma, no special type (arrow). Mammographic breast density was classified as BI-RADS B on all three mammograms. (B) Mammograms from four screening time points (in 2009, 2011, 2013, and 2015) in an individual who was diagnosed in October 2015 (at age 65 years) with a left-sided 45-mm grade 2 lobular carcinoma (arrow). Mammographic breast density was classified as BI-RADS C on all four mammograms. Screen-detected cancers were defined as those diagnosed within 90 days for individuals who were recalled at screening (*).
